Covid its related lockdowns and continued restrictions have meant that business ideas and marketing changed. Many of those changes have remained and look as if they are to become a permanent fixture.
One of those marketing changes involved Daffodil Foods. With the restrictions severely limiting both face to face retail and hospitality things had to change to survive.
Teaming up with Welsh food and drink companies from across Wales Lynne King created tea hampers that could be delivered by mail.
There is no argument as to whether the clotted cream should be put on the scone before the jam or vice versa, the choice can be yours in the privacy of your own home. It is interesting that clotted cream seems to have a link with the West Country but Daffodil Foods Clotted Cream is 100% Welsh and arguably more delicious.
But clotted cream by post? Well West Country dairies have been doing it for years so why not Welsh entrepreneurs?
Within the tea hamper the scones, clotted cream and compote have 7 days shelf life from arrival, other items have several weeks’ life. Let’s face it, who, once your cream tea hamper arrives can resist tucking in sooner rather than later.
As a gift this is such a great idea with a personalised gift card in each package what a wonderful gift to give for whatever reason.
Lynne King commented:
“We continue to have the most wonderful reactions for gifts from our customers emanating the gift card in the package. It adds a wonderful personal touch helping to make a celebratory afternoon tea even more special”
The tea hamper delivery includes: 4 x 40g Daffodil Foods Welsh clotted cream, 2 x 40g Daffodil Foods blueberry compote, 6 Welsh cakes from Popty Bakery, 4 scones Village Bakery, 1 x 500g award winning Bara Brith fruit cake from Popty Bakery, 200g Collier’s Welsh Mature cheddar, 250g Collier’s salted Welsh butter with sea salt crystals and 4 Dywfor Paned Pen Llyn envelope and tag Fairtrade tea bags. Packed into white gift box with ribbon and wood wool.
When ordering online from https://www.daffodilfoods.co.uk/product-page/welsh-afternoon-tea-hamper just remember to include your wording for the greetings card and select the delivery date that you would prefer from the calendar.
It is so good to have a good story coming out of Covid and its consequences but even better than that it is so wonderful to see similar businesses working together for the benefit of all.
